Rainy today, so a change of plans, we won't go to Bondi to do the cliffs walk.


Off to Paddys Markets (I took this photo later in the week, but will put it here to give you some idea).

We spent a lot of time shopping and then some went upstairs into Market City (to go to the factory outlets and the arcade game place).


OK, so it fined up enough for us to go across to the zoo.

This is why we couldn't go up Sydney Tower early in the day yesterday.

Then after a quick meal prepared by Jacob and his crew, off to the IMAX to see Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Some of us were seriously tired so we went to Town Hall Station to get a train back to Circular Quay.

Did you see the baby elephant on the news last night? There are three at the zoo now. We should be able to see them.
